Not very, only packing algorithms have become really good. With simple meshes it's possible to get away with hard edge/curvature/cluster based unfolding but problems that sound trivial, like automatically differentiating a tube from a planar patch with a hole and marking a clean seam down it's length can actually be…
aajohnny- I think the lighting is playing my materials differently. Maybe If i just up the contrast in UDK of my materials Ill get a better color read of the concepts. I do agree after looking at the wall and roof that I should go back in and angle the top wall trim in just like the concept. Dang didnt really think about…
Hello all, I am currently working on a project for a course I am in. I would love any feedback on this as I progress through the end of the month. This is my first piece using Trim Sheets, I have never used the workflow before. Everything except the rocks uses the trim. I plan to add more variation to the trim sheets and…
Hi everyone! I just watched a tutorial about trim sheets and tried to create one but it's seeming. My pipeline; - Sculpt high poly in zbrush via wrap mode. - Bake it to a plane in substance painter. ( Plane coordinates 0,0,0) Under tutorial comments I saw it but don't understand what's meaning " I used wrap mode to get the…
I've been out of town for a few days and haven't had a chance to work on it as much as I'd like. The gun is currently sitting just below 10k tris. I'm not sure what a good estimate for current-gen weapons are, but I feel like I could trim a lot more. The biggest changes I've made since my last update is adding the…
Some more first passes on materials, this time on the roof and the steps. I also tried something different with the tree with will probably work better in the future. :) There's a bit of a lack of metal in this scene right now, so I'll add some minor elements such as trims and circle attachments later on here and there.…
Hello everyone. I've been a long time lurker at polycount (mainly at the awesome WAYWO thread) but never decided to sign up since I don't have much to show for myself. However with this contest I decided to give it a try, though I'm guessing I'm probably just one of many :tongue: I am already more than halfway through…
Thanks for the comments folks. Re; The concrete rail / step set - I work with a collection of elements that can be combined in different arrangements. I do this in general, its also good way to create manageable chunks for UVing. I did a less fancy piece like this in the Gear2 Hospital set and ended up using the trim set…
Hey all, I know the loft tool in max is notoriously tricky but I've been stuck trying to fix these splines for a couple of days now and could really use some help. I am trying to loft the profile of a skirting board and ceiling trim for a room however when I select the profile to be lofted along the path, they do not…
Going with Barbarian Darius. I'm still experimenting with shapes and truth be told a lot of the details i will probably be taking out. Orignally I wanted to put as much detail as possible, but i realized a lot of it was just noisy detail and distracted from overall look so i tried to trim down a lot while still having good…
